The conclusion of the Tokyo Blade Stage Play in the upcoming episode of Oshi no Ko season 2 anime marks the end of the story arc. It is hoped that this will bring Aqua Hoshino closer to uncovering the identity of his biological father.

As many fans may recall, Aqua Hoshino had only agreed to participate in the stage play after Kaburagi Masaya promised to divulge secrets about Ai Hoshino’s past. As a result, the upcoming episode may feature Kaburagi Masaya revealing a chapter from Ai’s past and her relationships.

The conclusion of the ‘Tokyo Blade Stage Play Arc’ marks the beginning of a new story arc in the anime. While the previous eight episodes heavily revolved around Aqua Hoshino, the upcoming episodes may shift the focus to his sister, Ruby Hoshino.

Despite making multiple appearances in the anime, she has not yet been given a significant role. As a result, the upcoming episode may introduce a new story arc, potentially featuring either Ruby or another member of the B-Komachi idol group.
